Yard day

Mulch and dirt and likely another rose bush and weed killer.  Our day today.  First is Home Depot for the stuff, then unloading and spreading and etc.  Today the plant beds and some dollar week killer.

I was ready to take on the dirt patches and weeds that are our back yard but turns out since we're planting buffalo grass it is too early.  Which is fine since that can be my project after tax time when I can do a little every day.  It is a three or four day job anyway.  You'd think you could just dump the stuff and it would grow.  But apparently not.  We need to pretty much kill and rake up everything currently in our back yard and then germinate and plant the grass.  Definitely something good to do when I'm not otherwise encumbered by someone else wanting me to do something.  Like work.

So today is mostly just getting the mulch out there.  And filling the pots with a couple of inches of dirt and then letting Dana plant.  Not a huge amount of work.  Just the kind I've taken to in the past few years. 

Then a nap and hopefully still enough time to make a baby spice cake.

Such is Sunday.

Almost successful

Buy mulch, tote it around back and spread it — check

Remount windmill — check

Spray dollar and all the lower priced weeds — check

Shower/coffee/steak and onion sandwich and reading on the front porch — check

Make a spice baby cake with cream cheese/butter icing — check

Take a nap — Nope —  I will sleep well tonight

Finally figured out the plan for when I have too much time (soon).  I've started The Stand.  Not the original one.  The author's revised version where he put in all the pages he had taken out of the original for reasons he explained but I didn't quite follow.  So a book that is rather infamous for being long is now, apparently, a lot longer.  I read it the first time before it was in paperback so it has been a while.

Turns out the book weighs about the same on Kindle regardless of how much the author added.  Nice discovery.

So I have something to do for a while now.
